The Houston Police Department has been testing a small, unmanned aircraft that can be used for surveillance. As Professor Rocky Rhodes (South Texas College of Law) notes in the video, one issue raised by the drones is whether they are already being used by law enforcement and whether and under what conditions their use constitutes a search for purposes of the Fourth Amendment.

You'll notice that the reporters are not bashful about telling you how great their investigative journalism was here. Their "cameras were their for the entire secret test."

Let it be known that it was foreseen that the use of drones by the police for good will be overshadowed by a single act of bad.

Officers will spy (test) on spouses (ex & current), girl/boyfriends and strangers. They will eventually arm them and thus making them deadly weapons. Misfires and accidents will happen as they tweak them. Innocent lives will be caught up in the rush to militarize the police depts. But, they already have & military rank system, tanks, machine guns & camo.
